It turns out a few pods will ripen after a plant is pulled. Keeping
the stems wet might help a little, but it didn't help very much.

In the end several large clumps of vetch were pulled up and placed
in a bag to dry slowly. A small fraction of pods, presumably the
oldest, filled out and released seeds. I'll try to start a few now,
to check viability, and save the rest to plant in the spring.

Thanks for the follow up. Kinda wondered how you made out

I noticed this pictu

Was reported to have been taken on June 14 in Tennessee. Don't know
where your at but may give you some clue as to when they ripen. Maybe
keep on eye on where you got your plants too. I know around here the
brush hogs don't get everything and some plants recover pretty quick
afterwards...
